Author travels from rural to urban spaces, from traditional to contemporary ritual forms and ideological frames, from private to public discourses, from everyday life to political spheres, from mystery to spectacle and vice versa. This book will not help reader to solve the mystery of death, but it may improve his/her understanding of some forms it takes in contemporary society." ER -
